Catalogue Note
Ces deux œuvres attestent des liens entre les deux artistes Avigdor Arikha et Ronald Brooks Kitaj, et l'atelier Crommelynck à Paris. Dans une lettre datée de 1990, Kitaj évoque les mardis matins qu'il passe à l'atelier en compagnie de Arikha. En décembre 1982, alors que Kitaj travaille sur la gravure Place de la Concorde (voir catalogue), Arikha dessine son portrait en une demi-heure. Le dessin ici présent est alors offert à Aldo Crommelynck, qui l'utilise pour en tirer une gravure en début d'année 1983.
